Greetings! Greetings in the name of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ! On behalf of the facilitators of the C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis (George Anderson, Sig Berg, John Bishop, Jim Hiskey, and Jim Phillips), I offer you this edition of the CSLI Annapolis Newsletter.
Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute:
The C.S. Lewis Institute was founded in 1976 in the legacy of its namesake as an organization which endeavors to challenge, educate, and disciple those who will, like Lewis, articulate, defend, and live faith in Christ through personal and public life. The Institute's vision complements the work of the Church, equipping thoughtful believers to impact their sphere of influence for Jesus Christ. This discipleship of heart and mind takes place by means of teaching, readings, and mentoring.
Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis: The Mission of C.S. Lewis Institute - Annapolis is to extend the mission of the C.S. Lewis Institute to the Annapolis community, with a special passion for the students and faculty of Saint John's College and the U.S. Naval Academy. Ours is to disciple the people the Lord brings to us and connect them to each other so that they can lead the Church, the State, and the nations. Support for C.S. Lewis Institute -Annapolis: We are funded by the contributions of private individuals who identify with our Mission and Vision above. If you wish to support this ministry, please click here. Specify that you desire your contribution to go to the "Annapolis Extension". All contributions are tax-exempt; the C. S. Lewis Institute is a US 501(c)(3) organization. Receipts are mailed to all donors. Contributors to the Institute automatically receive Knowing & Doing, our quarterly publication for discipleship of heart and mind. Thank you for your support.

It has been a busy month with Fellows meetings, Heart & Mind Discipleship meetings, and SJC men and women's fellowship gatherings.If you have interest to participate in any of these gatherings, please contact Jim Phillips or Amy Yearwood. This month all of our programs continue (see schedule of events below). You will want to mark your calendars for Thursday evening, April 11, 2013. This will be the annual CSLI banquet in Washington, DC and the reason I am calling your attention to this is that our speaker will be Dr. James Kim, President of PUST (Pyongyang University of Science and Technology in North Korea) and YUST (Yambien University of Science and Technology in NE China). Dr. Kim's life story has elements of Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah, and Paul. He holds citizenship in South Korea, United States, China, and North Korea. He may be the only person to have these four passports. He is a follower of Jesus and was a close friend of Kim Jung Il. I know you will be blessed to hear his talk and hear how God is leading CSLI into a global discipleship mission. Thank you for your prayers and support of CSLI Annapolis.
Amy's Collegiate News:
This past month we had our first combined St. John's College - USNA event of the year, held on the USNA yard. The purpose of this event was to bring together the johnnies and the midshipmen in Christian fellowship in order to build relationships, grow in faith, and be encouraged. There was a wonderful atmosphere of friendship and worship as they listened to Chaplain Carter share his testimony of trusting the Lord to lead him in faith through difficult circumstances. Afterwards, there was a great time of johnnies and midshipmen hanging around talking together for nearly an hour after the event "ended." We look forward to doing a similar event again in the spring!
Our men and women's fellowships continue, and this month we will have our regular dinners and another night of prayer for SJC together in the boathouse (date tba). On November 9th, johnnies will join with the midshipmen for David Platt and Francis Chan's event Multiply to delve into what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, and how we are to go and make disciples. For more information about Multiply, visit their website. Please continue to pray for SJC, that God's Truth would prevail!

Please pray for the men and women associated with the Institute and the lives they have been entrusted to touch. Our ministry in Annapolis is not about numbers, it is about touching the lives of the men and women God brings to us before they go out into His service.
Aslan is on the move!
Sincerely in Christ,
Jim Phillips
